Great service and food! The homemade chips were phenomenal as were the guacamole and beer cheese/queso! Margarita was great too. Highly recommend
Overall a pretty good restaurant. I recommend the margarita flight - watermelon was my favorite! The cauliflower wings were amazing. I couldn't tell that they were vegetables at all. I knocked off one star because the chicken quesadilla was so dry. I'm typically not a fan guacamole and sour cream, but I needed them to eat the quesadilla. It sounded like the shrimp quesadilla was also dry. I didn't try it, but those at my table did. Aside from the chicken, the tortilla was crispy and the quesadilla had good seasoning.
Stopped here while in town for a sports event. Our party of 8 was seated quickly (we had reservations). We ordered drinks that were just ok (mermaid drink way too sweet) and apps that were great. The guac and chips were very good! Our waitress made recommendations on entrees and everything was great. I had the short rib chimichanga as well as a single primo rib taco. I would order both again. Would return if in the area again!
While in Wilmington we needed a place to eat for lunch that was near by. After looking around, this place caught my attention. The inside is clean and upbeat without overdoing it. I loved the bar area as you walk in. Ok on to the food, we were greeted promptly and came in right at the tail end of Saturday brunch. Hubs ordered chicken and waffles and I got the chicken fajitas. The entrees were served a little different than what I'm used to but everything was delicious. The chicken was crispy and hot on the waffle and the corn was very different but hubs said it was a nice balance. My fajitas were also delicious. The rice was a little chewy. Would recommend if you need a nice little spot for Mexican food.
Amazing food, fun atmosphere with good music and bar, and a varying menu. Got the steak street tacos and nachos with grilled chicken. Service was great from host, to the server, and an active helpful manager who even came over to the table. Great spot.
Great atmosphere, a really open yet covered layout. There are plenty of booths and tall table tops. Dimly lit, flat-screens. A great menu that covers everything with. Flair. Fresh ingredients makes all the difference if the taste of the foods. the Short-Rib Chimmichunga was outstanding. I felt the Long Island was a little weak. 2 shots of Henny.
I've been going to Del Pez for years... pre pandemic... Surprised when Yelp told me I never reviewed it. Great spot. Friendly, efficient service. Fabulous food and drinks. Great happy hour vibe. Usually crowded but not wild
Food was good, but gluten free/dairy free options were limited for my sister. Server was nice, but kindof disappeared the last 40min. Manager was present and helped us. The salmon salad we took home for my brother in law was $20 for a piece of fish and plain lettuce (no other options with lettuce that are DF & GF).
The nachos are what have me coming back time and time again! No protein needed, the toppings on these nachos are delicious and cover all chips! The corn cake was a sweet treat that is so soft and creamy. The staff is also great and although it was crowded, I had no problem getting a seat or table!
